PHILADELPHIA (AP) \u2014 Zack Wheeler pitched six shutout innings and Bryson Stott hit a two-run single as the Philadelphia Phillies defeated Cleveland 3-0 on Saturday, ending the Guardians’ seven-game winning streak.<\/p>\n
After the start was delayed nearly two hours by rain, Wheeler (4-0) allowed just two hits and struck out six while running his scoreless streak to 13 innings.<\/p>\n
Phillies left-hander Cristopher S\u00e1nchez tossed eight sharp innings Friday against Cleveland, extending his shutout streak to 37 2\/3 innings over his last five outings.<\/p>\n
The resurgent Phillies have won all six of Wheeler’s starts this season since the right-hander returned from surgery last September for a blood clot discovered in his right shoulder.<\/p>\n
Stott broke a scoreless tie in the fourth with a two-out, two-run single. That gave him 20 RBIs this month, most in the National League.<\/p>\n
Bryce Harper had his sixth three-hit game of the season \u2014 fourth in May \u2014 and scored twice. A trio of Philadelphia relievers finished the three-hitter, with Jhoan Duran earning his ninth save as the Phillies (26-26) snapped a three-game skid.<\/p>\n
Slade Cecconi (3-5) was charged with three runs and six hits in five-plus innings. He didn’t get much help from his offense, which mustered only a double each from Rhys Hoskins, Chase DeLauter and Travis Bazzana. The Guardians didn’t get a runner to third base until the ninth.<\/p>\n
Philadelphia tacked on a run with two outs in the sixth when reliever Matt Festa walked Adolis Garc\u00eda with the bases loaded.<\/p>\n
The first pitch was delayed for 1 hour, 56 minutes.<\/p>\n
